Champagne & Fromage opening in Brixton soon

[Manter]

French people ? in Brixton ? outfuckingrageous

Am I allowed to say he was gorgeous? Or will that mark me out as a gentrifier, or national traitor or something?

I've been a few times, but always mid-week lunchtime, so no queue. I wouldn't go at the weekend or in the evening.

I did try that once on a Thursday I had off work. It was still a half an hour wait.

 

[Manter]

But you're not even getting a comfortable restaurant experience. It's more like a cafe. With a queue. And if you get a seat, you then have to face increasing pressure from the aforementioned queue to fuck off sharpish once you've finished eating.

This ^^ is v true.

Thinking about it I have never once eaten in the Village. The only thing I have ever purchased in there was a beer from the El Panzon guy at about 10am one morning while we were chatting.

Agree. Saturday evening gives me the fear, it's heaving. And this time of the year must be icy cold too.

 

[Badgers]

No doubt it is seasonal in terms of sales. They will still be trading to an okay level autumn/winter but sales have to drop in the cold. Am sure the businesses have factored this in.

You need to get there as it opens. 12 ish

They are nice burgers, but just burgers. You've not missed a life changing experience.... I went to see what the fuss was about, and I've since eaten there once more because I had a red meat craving*, but there are better/more interesting places to eat in Brixton.

*and Mantito discovered that if he squawked it reverberated around the whole market. Which was lovely for everybody...

Raspberry ripple in wafers?

There are a lot of French in London. Two live at my place. They usually speak English so well that one does not realise.

The handyman who works in BV is French.

It was hazelnut...but had an italian name.

Yep, tbh that's what I suspected. I really am not unhappy if I never try an Honest burger!

Tangle Twister?

Tangle Twister?

Are you flirting with me?

 

[SarfLondoner]

someone should open a Dallas Chicken in the village

Locally sourced organic artisan Dallas chicken has a future i think.

 

[Badgers]

Are you flirting with me?

You ask me on a date and then this?

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I'm fickle.

Puts me in good company on this thread.

They need competition and sharpish

Not a bad article that, although the readers comments are predictably right wing.

Nice distinction between the different types of gentrification.

Are they different types? Looks more like different degrees of the same thing to me.

The article isn't bad but it's Vice magazine - isn't that for actual genuine hipsters?

Good article. Vice online news is worth checking out. I am impressed by the quality of news coverage in Vice.

That is the paradox.

Fear not, the end of the hipster is upon us! The xfactor is seeing to it!
